Freedom of speech ??? 😂😂😂😂Where is Julian Assange ?

[@petrabraham9512]

I ask that question often. Freedom of speech until you expose the truth.

When your answer is "As long as the authorities don't hear it", I think you can just answer "No" to the question.

[@shoutitallloud]

No you can't. Remember, there could be authorities walking nearby.

In the Baltics, people have long been imprisoned for their opinion, for example, blogger Kirill Fedorov from Riga has been imprisoned for neutral coverage of what is happening in Ukraine. And in Ukraine, people are killed in the dungeons of the SBU and buried in the forest for their opinion, judging by the photo and video in Telegram channels. In Holland, the police unleash dogs on people for their opinion, there is a video. In Germany, people are fired from their jobs for their opinions and their bank accounts are blocked. If in the USA a person has his own opinion, then he commits suicide with three bullets in the back on the way to the store, and they also commit suicide in the USA on the threshold of their house with multiple stab wounds ... Let's talk about this too, or is it a taboo and about it is a democracy that does not allow speaking.

[@luisteixeiradacosta466]

Having lived in different countries and read the news about many others, I agree that this issue of "normalization" is key. Particularly since the same process happens in many places, in various ways. Many european countries have laws prohibiting specific statements and even in the US (where I still believe freedom of expression is more protected), that are plenty of (past and present) examples of limitations to the freedom of expression. Generally speaking, western countries have been moving towards a level of political dogmatism that is quite disturbing. Nowadays I am not so much concerned about the authorities, but constantly engage in self-censorship out of fear from acquaintances, colleagues and neighbors. Many people I know do the same...

Last year, 400 people were arrested in Russia for the words they said on social networks. How many people do you think were arrested in the UK for making statements on social networks last year? 3300. One example is a young 19-year-old woman from Liverpool - Chelsea Russell. Her friend died in a car accident and she posted the lyrics to his favorite song on Instagram. It was a rap and the words "nigga" were in the song. She was arrested, convicted, found guilty and sentenced to 500 hours of community service and a fine. And during the year, a curfew was set for her from 8 pm to 8 am." We should add that in Ukraine, according to the office of the Prosecutor General, more than 24,000 people were arrested for words last year.

[@user-FGWL]

This is not entirely true. 3300 arrested is not the same thing as those convicted of crimes. Most of them were called to speak with the police, half of them were released. Also, they were all summoned for interrogation under a certain criminal article, which includes such crimes as: Internet fraud, harassment, threats, incitement to violence (on the Internet and social networks), etc. As for the Chelsea girl, she published the words from the Snoop Dogg song, in which it is not just the N-word. Out of context (and in the song itself, too), it sounds like a call to kill blacks. The first judge did not go into details of the story and she was convicted. Then there was an appeal, the trial lasted 1 year and she was acquitted. I think these points should be taken into account, without them the situation looks completely different.

Свободы слова в России есть по крайней мере больше чем странах Балтии так как я сам из Вильнюса и часто бывал в России. Я считаю что свобода слова должна быть ограничена и цензура тоже необходима, и не только в условиях войны. The problem is that young people in Russia are mostly liberal and brainwashed by US propaganda. They believe in everything they say in the Western media and absolutely 100% do not believe the Russian media. Since they mentally live in the West and they are brainwashed, of course they are afraid to speak their rotten opinion, because all they can say is to pour shit on their country with great hatred, yes, for such people there is no freedom of speech 🥰

For future topics...since there are many immigrants in Latvia, how about some questions about the immigrant experience? - How hard was it to adjust to a new country? Suggestions for the best ways to adjust to a new country? How do you quickly form new friendships? - What do you like best about Latvia? What do you miss about your home country? You could also do "travelogue" videos if you want to take a break from current events. - Ask people on the street the most interesting places in Riga for a tourist to visit. Then show us some of these places. - Ask people their favorite Latvian food. If they are immigrants, compare Latvian food and food from their home country. Have they found a Latvian food that they like, that they had not eaten before moving to Latvia?

Very interesting topic, and some thoughtful answers. I disagree with the guy who said the USA has less freedom of speech. There's a difference between speech being socially rude or unacceptable, and speech being illegal. The guy is probably thinking something like, you can't say you hate gays. This is more of a social taboo, and is based on a desire not to hurt other people. This is fundamentally different from not being allowed to criticize the state, or call the SVO a "war".

@@monaliza3334 Nonsense. Nobody was forced. In some southern US states, the vaccination rate was as low as 30%. Due to this exercise of freedom (and stupidity), the death rate from Covid was higher in these low-vaccination states. No force, except the force of nature in the form of a virus.

[@imperium_vox]

In Russia you can call SMO a War if you like, the guy literally lied in the beginning of video. You aswell can say that Putin is ruining Russia or he is a traitor or whatever, for example, I think that 8 years of waiting before the start of SMO is a huge mistake by Putin and in the future he will have to suffer punishment for this. But if you use media, or you are an influencer with the possibilities to influence thousands of people, then you have to prove your words, and if you can't, then you will meet with responsibility. I know for certain that in the United States one cannot criticize the state for failures, such as the inability to provide assistance to the population in a crisis situation. You can not humiliate the state, under any circumstances. But it is allowed to express one's disagreement with the president in a limited way. But you will never find articles in the media that say that the blood of millions is on the hands of the US government. Well, a huge censorship machine, banned topics and words, and if you go beyond, you are canceled, you are marginalized, banned on all possible platforms. So if you compare the US and Russia, Russia is a much freer country. I think that there is more freedom only somewhere in Latin America and Africa.

There is no freedom of speech in Russia. Russia’s political structure and political culture still resemble that of many different countries centuries ago, in the day of kings. In essence, Putin is quite literally a modern king in ever possible way, including in that nobody would ever dare say anything bad about the king because they know that their head will be delivered to him on a silver platter moments after he found out about what they said about him. That’s how things were in every country back in the day. The people living in Russia have not experienced things any other way.

Считают ли Латыши освободительной роль Советсткого Союза. Осознают ли, что было бы уничтожено много людей, если бы Советсткий Союз проиграл?

[@vladmirrr]

@@MyroslavDrujenko спасибо, что уточнили. Меня просто указанные годы смутили: голод не помнил в какие годы, а про концлагеря обычно указывают 37год. Если в чёрное и белое красить, белого и не найдём. Не святой, конечно, Сталин, но ему многое приписывают. А кто написал все те доносы? Обычные люди из разных своих соображений. При этом и интеллигенции много, конечно, перемолола система. И службисты кого-то зазря забирали. Я был в начале года на экскурсии в концлагерь, послушал историй людей. Туда попадали, порой, за пустяк, а лагерная жизнь не ласковая. Ужасно это всё. Но Сталин скорее продолжал. Сталин пришёл на раскалённую обстановку после 2 гражданских войн, при сильной конкуренции во власти и в суровые времена общения силой, при большом количестве людей вырвавшихся во власть с самых низов. И постепенно Сталин же и завершил. Хрущёву он писал "Уймись, дурак!" на расстрельных списках и помимо Хрущёва были карьеристы кто через эти казни продвигался. Потом ещё при правлении Сталина судили палачей, которые рьяно пользовались своей властью для уничтожения. Что до голода, так вся страна огромная голодала, это не было целенаправленной акцией. Я ещё знаю про истории жестокости тех времён. У меня дед из под Ровно, рассказывал про разгулы банд и особый расцвет которых пришёлся на период Великой Отечественной. Я считаю, не стоит ничего забывать: ни про Сталина, ни про голод, ни про банды, ни про поведение людей в критических ситуациях. Мне видится, что стоит описать без приукрас всё как было и сделать выводы. Через это научиться договариваться. Хотя, конечно, в семье-то порой не договоришься, но сейчас больше грамоты, надо договариваться. А что касается Сталина, то нужен в наших странах правитель строгий к чиновникам, по типу Батьки Лукашенко, чтобы спрос с чиновников строгий был и ответственность у них появилась, т.к. есть бардак в чиновничьей среде, а она многое определяет для людей.

Suggested questions for Russians: If another country decided to claim Russia needed to be denazified and send in 50,000 or 200,000 military personnel while bombing and destroying it's infrastructure and killing and terrorizing Russian citizens would it be justified? But "first" before asking the above question ask this: Do you think Russia had the right to attack Ukraine, destroy its infrastructure and kill Ukraine citizens in order to denazify? Another suggested question: If another country has Nazis why is it any business of Russia? Should they attack ALL countries that have Nazis? In my country those are what's considered "if the shoe was on the other foot (in this case Russia) do other countries have the right to attack Russia? Thank you.

[@sergiuzz5438]

1) If another country attacked Russia it hasn't any excuses for it because there is no nazis symbols like in Ukraine, no same batallions like Azov batallion which is officially a part of Ukranian Army, people and government support all cultures inside Russia (in Ukraine every cultures supported too except russian) 2) Yes, Russia had the right to attack Ukraine, because Russia and LPR and DPR has signed a military support agreement 21/02/2022 after that Ukraine attacked LPR and DPR - it was redline. Remember 9/11. Does USA had the right to attack Afghanistan? Does USA had the right to attack Iraq? Does USA the right to attack Belgrad? 3) If another country has nazis Russia will help other countries to destroy nazis sentiments in any country. All countries has the nazis BUT you sure that all countries has the nazis in government and army? All presidents talk about killing other ethnic just because of ethnic? Ukranian presidents talked about it. Think about it. 4) Try to attack Russia and the world will see atomic ww3. Do you want it? I think not. Any questions?

I never heard that if someone gone to a rally, protesting with a Russian flag in a European country and he/she will be prisoned. Maybe in Ukrain during this war, but nowhere else. It would be insensitive act during this war but probably the police only would disturbe you to prevent any escalation, attack. Maybe they would ask you not to do that, because it is not a smart act during this time. If you use for example a Nazi flag or wear a Nazi uniform on the street that could cause much problem, because as I remember that is forbidden in my country at least with some another symbol too like the SS symbol or the Soviet Sickle and Hammer or the 5 pointed red star. These are forbidden symbols in my country in Hungary. You can use them for education purpose or in an art installation. In EU countries you can talk about anything, like gays, lesbians, all the LMBTQ things, or any kind of religion, not just muslims. You cant rally, agitate another people against anybody because of his/her “race”, skin tone, religion, sexual orientation, language, country, etc. Freedom of speech, freedom of expression are fundamental rights but you cant step the red line and agitate people. Warmongers are also not welcome here. You can express that you dont agree with you government or any politician, prime minister, even using extreme language, swearing, but you there are limits here too if you are speaking in front of a wider audience. In Hungary sadly started some slow changing by the current government against the freedom of speech. For example more and more people kicked from their job because what they said or did, protesting, organising or take a part of a strike. Their employer is the government indirectly.

Интересно было взглянуть видеоролик + комментарии, ввиду того что я сам гражданин России. В моём понимании свобода слова есть везде, правда последствия к этой свободе не относятся. То есть технически ты можешь сказать что угодно, но за каждым словом свои последствия. Где-то тебя за головке погладят, где-то могут привлечь к ответственности. Цензура и собственно само наказание это уже последствия, прописанные законом. Если ты будешь говорить так, то ты знаешь, что с тобой будет. А так да, наказание строгое довольно. Понятное дело, это всё война гибридного характера (информационный конфликт + вооружённый конфликт в лице СВО), и она, как мне кажется, была уже давно, но не такой явной. СВО это лишь маленький кусочек этой войны, которая лишь стало одним таким явным сигналом, что сейчас всё таки война идёт. Ну и давайте вещи своими именами называть.

Вот казалось бы, откуда у 16-летней девочки такие выводы? Кто ей свободу не дает и где? В школе? Или родители дома? Может в чате анимешников ее блокируют? Когда была ситуация с Навальным, хотела идти на митинг. Спрашиваю: "ты хоть знаешь кто это вообще?". Она: "нет. Но в тик-токе все знакомые собираются идти." Вот у таких потом и берут интервью о свободе.

[@Evgeny-Kuryanovich]

Не знаю, на кой черт на канале для изучения русского языка заниматься политическими опросами. Ведь ясно и понятно, что все сегодняшние ограничения свободы слова связаны с СВО. Думаю, в сша вопросы про чернокожих (а там эта тема почти табу для человека, если он не готов принимать ограничения свободы слова) тоже будут весьма с болезненной реакцией и люди будут очень и очень осторожны в своих высказываниях, особенно если им есть что потерять. Сам термин кстати "политкорректность" (читай жесткая самоцензура и ограничение свободы слова) - изобретение США. )) Кстати в вашем ролике заметил одну особенность. Люди, которые говорили, что россия свободная страна для мнений, но в тоже время признавали сегодняшние ограничения - эти люди говорили про россию как о "нашей" стране. А вот те, кто категорично утверждали о несвободе в россии вообще в принципе, говоря о россии, употребляли выражение "эта" страна. Для русского уха "эта страна" звучит как "не люблю эту страну и при первой возможности бы свалил". Короче если вы признаете необходимость политкорректности в каких то темах, то чтобы понять свободу слова в россии, достаточно и необходимо быть политкорректным в 3 темах: тема СВО, гей-тема и религиозная тема. Говоря по этим темам надо просто помнить наличие определенных законов принятых думой. То есть вы можете говорить на эти темы свободно, но надо использовать политкорректную лексику - и все будет с вами хорошо. Причем ограничения не столь уж велики, чтобы уж прямо страдать-страдать. Относительно СВО я по внутренним убеждениям не скажу что то такое похабное. Относительно гей-темы могу эту тему поддерживать в любом разговоре по мере интереса. При этом просто надо помнить, что эта тема по закону только для людей старше 18 и всех делов. Религиозная тема вообще проста и по сути не напряжет вас нисколько, если вы просто вежливый человек - и всех делов то. А вот по остальным темам можете говорить как угодно. Вот и все дела. Понятно что если вы максималист и вас распирает раскричать на весь мир, что вы не "одобрямс" СВО, что вы хотите чтобы ребенок с 5 лет называл маму и папу родителем 1 и 2, и что вы ненавидите христа и всех верующих считаете недалекими дураками - ну так тогда, действительно, вы в россии будете чувствовать себя страшно дискомфортно. А если при этом эти 3 темы - единственно что вас интересует, то вы даже будете ненавидеть россию, называть ее "этой страной" и мечтать свалить в сша, где вам в этих 3х темах (но только в них) будет весьма вольготно)))
